(Stolen from Sunday) teacher.  I became one, but found that I really didnt like the job.  I want to be involved in making schools more up to date with technology, so I work as web developer, and plan to one day get into ed tech.  I want to make a technology that makes the teachers lives easier, without throwing more tech in the students faces.

    @littlebug2010 how are you holding up waiting until the 17th. I just about went crazy this past weekend with boredom and wanting to spruce up my nursery and buy baby stuff. The struggle is real.

    Im okay.  I think its harder in my PGAL brain.  I keep thinking something might be wrong, becuase im not feeling a ton of movement, but I think my placenta is anterior.  It was listed that way in one of the patient portal reports, but not in another one.  So I am hoping that the low amount of feeling I have is from that.  If I do feel it its off to the side and in the same spot.  I am also really excited to find out the sex, I know this appointment is a lot more than that, and its adding to my anxiety, so looking forward to the sex is making me feel better. I just need it to be the 17th!  How are you holding up?

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Last week I had said that I thought I may be feeling baby move, but since then I've felt nothing. I guess I was over hopeful because this is baby 4 that I'd be feeling something and I was almost positive I was, but now I don't think so haha. Also I already started having BH contactions after peeing and sex. Could have went a little longer with out that happening.

    16 weeks & an avocado! 

    Upcoming appointments?   

    Not until 3/21! Spent yesterday as a standardized patient for the midwifery school in our city students' final clinical skills exam. Twelve 30 minute prenatal visit was exhausting, but got to hear baby girl all day long! Towards the end she'd kick the Doppler whenever they'd try and find her HB :) (couldn't feel it, but could hear the interference on the Doppler)

    Symptoms?  

    Sometimes pain and tenderness around my belly button. Probably just from stretching! Backaches and headaches basically daily, but went to the chiro today and already feel better.

    Cravings?  

    Phô and anything with vinegar!

    Rants/Raves/Questions?   

    Thanks to insurance+pharmacy mess ups, I'm now out of my antidepressant and won't have a refill until 3/14. They won't even let me self pay for seven days' worth. Pretty mad since they screwed this all up and now I'm without meds...

    I was a nerdy kid so I wanted to be an epidemiologist! I actually took epidemiology in my master's program, and it was the hardest class of the whole program  :#

    @lindstothee  I wish I felt more!  I have felt baby a few times, but most of the time im pretty sure its gas.  I really feel like most of my feeling is my uterus stretching and growing, but I dont really know, as Im a FTM.

    How far along are you & how big is baby?   
    17(+2 because I've been busy)

    Upcoming appointments?   
    Next week, but not sure whether it also counts as my a/s. SO will prob come anyway.

    Symptoms?  
    Had a lot of general soreness around my uterus last night...friends diagnosed as RLP, but I think that's usually a sharper pain. Convinced I'll feel the baby in the next week since I've had some "is that baby or gas?" moments in the past week. I'm also feeling uncomfortable with my belly - like, it's in the way. I burned it this past weekend on a hot pan while reaching above the stove, and turning over in bed is taking more of a heave.

    Cravings?  
    Less hungry than I've been in the past few weeks. Want healthy balanced meals; mostly failing to provide them to myself. Combined with above, I need to watch myself for early depression symptoms. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions?   
    Rant/Rave: found a BOB on Craigslist, nearby for $160. Stoked. But SO feels no sense of urgency at getting the stroller at 65% off, and logistically he's the one who needs to meet with them.

    GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? (Stolen from Sunday)
    An astronaut! Actually, that was something I pursued through freshman year of college, when I dropped engineering and settled for naval aviation.

    @lyse01 great job being self aware with the depression. Hope it's just a yucky week for you, but keep us updated!
